See the thing about Choon.co is not mainly the crypto currency itself but the Blockchain technology. Blockchain enables so called Smart Contracts. Smart contracts are set up in a way that they run autonomously right on time without possibility of intererence from the outside. For us musician this is the big deal. If I upload a track to Choon and sign a Smart Contract between me and my work is automatically saved to the blockchain and transparently available for all to see.
The Smart Contract fixes who is the artist and who has the copyrights and who gets what amount of royalties from said track. The contract is Smart as it automatically converts all streams of your music to note tokens and issues a statement each night!.
Choon will open up in the near future, for labels, radios and other ways of consuming music. It will eventually offer streaming packages like apple music this will guarantee that new note tokens are entering the system. This is by far not the only way who Choon will stabilize the platform so the artists don't dry it out for the quick buck.
Just last week the announced a partnership with a Smart Speaker Startup from the Netherlands that will have access to the Choon library, for each stream to that speaker, no matter where, your smart contract will automatically issue the statement and notes to you each night.

Choon is the way music distribution should work. Without all the intermediate parties that drain out your money and value of work.
Listeners are able to curate playlists and earn tokens themselfs. This way charts are not premade and bought like they are today with Beatport or other big streaming outlets.

I reckon they need an app version. (Like Spotify and Soundcloud have apps). Does anyone know if one is coming soon?

Yes is in development. They have a clear roadmap layed out a good year ahead.

Something to be aware of is your work still needs promoting. So the chart side of it is still based on old fashioned ‘drumming up business’.
There’s a lot of quality on there that has nearly 0 streams which is a shame.

Is anyone else able to upload from their iDevice? Is there a limit to song length or something (trying to upload a 12-minute track to no avail)?

Yeah, yeah I'll go back and read the fine print soon, but would appreciate it if someone can answer this.

Yes i messaged the Choon support a couple of weeks ago. There is a time limit of between 12-15 mins. They were not more specific. I decided all my stuff was much too long anyway for the Choon playlist thing so chopped everything right down. Not had a problem since. Podcasts can be really long. I haven't tested the exact time limits for music tracks...........under 12 mins should be fine...........I'm not sure why they couldn't be more specific....seemed a little odd, but it is still in Beta........

O.K. Thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated. Just one other question.........is a podcast a different thing then, as some of those are over an hour long? Cheers! Keep up the good work! 😊
